Thus, one gets first-hand information on research, purchases of exhibits, construction plans as well as on exhibitions and openings.
In a supplement, there are listings of all museums including their opening times, current exhibitions and information on how to get there. The quarterly Museumsjournal costs 6.90 € (annual subscription 27.60 € delivered free; shipping abroad: 12 € ); it is available in many museums and book shops all over Berlin. (In German only.)
